Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen Weren't on the Same Page. Are You and Your Man?

Most Read

One of our fave Hollywood ladies, Rachel McAdams, recently parted ways with her BF, actor Micheal Sheen, after she realized that they were so not on the same page as far as their relationship expectations were concerned.

Basically, Rachel was reportedly looking to settle down and raise a family while Michael wanted to focus on his career. (Which might sound strange given that he's 45, but he already has a 14-year-old daughter with Kate Beckinsale, so it kinda makes sense that he doesn't want to do the whole baby thing again.) So, after two years, they decided to call it quits when they didn't see eye-to-eye, according to one of those "sources."

This sitch highlights a really important piece of relationship wisdom: When you start dating a dude, find out if you're on the same page. Of course, people's views of what they want can change (and maybe Michael told Rachel he ready to settle down, then decided otherwise). But, more often than not, when we're in the hot, happy, new love phase, we'd rather not talk about those pesky issues that could make us question the entire relationship.

So, what ends up happening? Eventually, you do talk about it, realize you totally want different things, break up, and then kick yourself because you feel like you wasted your time. (Plus, the heartbreak is even worse the deeper you get into a relationship.)

Rachel clearly deserves a guy who will write her letters every day of her life and erect her dream house with his own two hands. Which brings us to Ryan Gosling. Perhaps he and Eva could somehow discover that they're not on the same page…then our irrational hope that Rach and the Gos will end up back together could maybe come true. A gal can dream.
